I disassembled an IOMega drive, and mounted in the default holes in the 3.5" bay under the optical. The drive is about 0.25" smaller than the width of the 3.5 bay. And its much lower than a typical drive (slimline). So, an adapter will have to be created to mount it higher.

Attach some photos of your floppy, maybe I can design one. I have IOmega 31062400 and SmartDisk FDUSB-M models that I can compare to.

You do not have to flash a floppy drive. They are mechanically made to read and write certain formats/densities. It varies greatly. I don't know if an IDE to Floppy controller exists, because old computers came with separate controllers, one for floppy and one for IDE. The very easiest...

Possible... maybe... I am not guaranteeing these exact pieces are compatible, but likely are. Find a ZIP faceplate and mount for a quicksilver, then find an internal LS-120 Super disk, then find an ATAPI to IDE adapter. Then you should be able to mount it under the optical drive and connect...

USB external 1.44MB, but if you are trying to use 400/800K, probably not.

Golly, I haven't seen a wire wrap tool since the 80's!

I picked up a very nice iBook G4 1.2GHz from Craigslist for $25. Screen is clear and bright. Drive is dead, but it boots from a FireWire external. So this will get upgraded to an SSD for PPC Challenge 2025.

There are lots of Youtube videos out there on 3D printing, here is one from Instructibles. Good luck!

When I converted a couple Macintosh Classics, I had an additional damaged tube (tip broken off) and I used that as a form to melt my plexi/acrylic. Put the tube in a vase, stuck it in the oven, let the flat plastic get soft. Took a couple tries to get it right... (G5 airflow plate...

I don't know of ProtoWeb and WarpStream work on system 7. View the video from this post.

Back in the early 90s, there was PageMill, that would split a graphic for you and make items clickable... but I think it is rather crude by today's standards. WordPress has a bazillion plugins and is like using a 747 for a paper airplane contest. With the advent of HTML5/CSS and all that they...

Well this is a bit odd... maybe something I will look into for the PPC Challenge 2025. Not that I really want to run WinNT, but it sure is an oddity. Windows NT for PPC

If you have money to burn, buy as big as you can. If you are constrained by budget, but only as much as you need. What size storage do you have now? Do you need 4TB? I have 50TB of mechanical externals at my desktop, that I only power on when I need them, mostly for archive purposes.

I have a single Sil3112 dual flashed, and many Sil3114 quads that I need to flash. The 3112 is in a G4, I will have to test it in a B&W and let you know.

They are both 12" and I have ordered some generic LED backlights for them, and these mSATA adapters will go in. The iBook likely needs a display cable repair or replacement and I have spare display hinges for the G4 (case is pretty banged up). I assume the iBook G3 is a Snow, while the...

I did some more testing last night on some of my adapters... TLDR: The chinese red board is the only answer for B&W G3. I started by using a 120GB 3.5HDD and creating 3 equal partitions using Disk Utility on MacOS10.4.11 from another boot drive. I cloned the 10.4.11 to one partition, and then...

I visited the UofM recycle center and found some video adapters and this Apple BT kb at the cost of scrap. Pretty dirty, and baby wipes would not clean the grease, so had to resort to isopropyl alcohol. A dent below the arrow keys and a scuff by the eject button, but otherwise fully...

Does you D-Link have a USB port for the printer? I don't recall IP printing from OS9, but it's been a while. Is the printer shared from the Mini?

Latest updates on CF conversions of iPod Click Wheel Gen 1 and iPod Dock Connector Gen 3 I ran into difficulties and after a couple days of reading and trying things, I finally found the issue with the Gen 3. After restoring in windows iTunes, you have to wait for the Apple logo to appear...

If you have two oscillators operating at the same time, I think you would definitely have a problem.
